T&P needed
My amazing 11 year old is having surgery on her kidney today at All Childrens. They are doing it laproscopically so it's less invasive, and it is the best Dr. there is. But I'm here and for some reason (pregnancy hormones I guess) I saw her name on the screen in admissions and burst out in tears. My sister just came into the waiting room to get me to go see her in pre op as was the plan, but I told her I am afraid I will cry in front of her and make her nervous. So it's just best if me and my laptop sit our asses here until she's awake and in her room. I know she's in good hands but T&P's never hurt.
ETA 11 year old neice. I don't have an 11 year old. Geez...

PAIF/SAIF/PGAL welcome
My thoughts and prayers are with her. I have a 16 year old and 2 year old nieces and if there's anything that would ever happen to them I wouldnt know what to do. I love them like my own and just seeing them in a tough situation makes me sad. So I know how you feel and pregnancy hormones definitely doesnt help with the tears either heheh.
Keep up updated
If someone checks out of the surgery recovery floor (it's the same floor, just the opposite side) maybe that could happen but at this point my sister has unpacked all her stuff and they are just focusing on getting her better, and up and mobile. I stopped by this morning and they got her into a chair for her first step to getting up. She's not thrilled. We managed to make her smile for about one second by finally giving in and letting her have her own Facebook as long as me and her mom know the password. But she's still in pain. I can't help but think that I am going to be in a very similar position in 12 days after my surgery. My poor sister, dealing with her babys surgery, then 13 days later her baby sisters surgery. At least mine has a very positive outcome. I keep telling neice I hope I can be half as strong as she's being.
The oncology ward is fine though. Last night there was a sweet little angel (maybe 5 years old) running around in her Christmas scarf on her head and a facemask and hospital gown, with a little magic wand in her hand wanting to meet the new girl on the floor, but neice is not quite up for it yet.
The nurses don't have a lot of experience with surgery recovery kids like my neice but they are still really helpful and awesome and we couldn't be happier with them seriously. Plus my sister is a nurse so they need less help than other families might. The only thing about the ward that is different really is that there are double doors to enter and it's a little extra process. You have to get buzzed in to enter the first door and allow it to close completely shut behind you which takes a minute because it's mechanical. Then you have to wash your hands, there's double sinks there. Then you can open the second doors. So to run out to grab a snack takes a few extra minutes. NBD, I've just never seen that before. The most amazing part is all the rooms on the Oncology floor have an amazing view of the Gulf of Mexico!! It was breathtaking this morning!
OK last update. I think she is going to be OK. Had a visit from the Rough Riders today. Going home later on this afternoon. Amen
